(BALTIMORE) Fans will be able to attend Baltimore Ravens games at full capacity for the upcoming season, the team announced on Tuesday.
Team President Dick Cass said in a statement that the team is optimistic to have a full stadium of fans as COVID-19 vaccinations continue across the country.
The team issued the following statement:
Our preparations for the new season are ongoing, and with continuing progress in vaccinations throughout the nation and in our community, we are optimistic that we will have a full stadium of fans this season. We will continue to work diligently with state and local agencies to prepare to host fans safely. To achieve our goal of a full stadium, we encourage everyone in our community to get vaccinated and continue following the best practices recommended by public health authorities.
The Ravens cited the upcoming Pimlico’s Triple-Crown Preakness event and Merriweather Post Pavilion’s plans to host events in July as further reasons to encourage their own reopening plans.
The stadium will implement COVID-19 safety measures like mobile ticketing, touchless kiosks and cashless purchasing.
Now that the NFL draft is over, the league is planning on releasing a game schedule on May 12, followed closely by single-game ticket sales.
"Please know that we appreciate the patience and support you have shown throughout the last year," Cass concluded. "We will remain flexible, but are optimistically looking forward to having everyone back with us this season to create that M&T Bank Stadium energy we all miss."
